I've an Issue with my EUIV: Tripoli Exists on the Standard 1444 Start Date as an Independent Nation

[Sammyroc]

As the title says, my EUIV has an issue where Tripoli is an independent nation in 1444 with an 'Emir No Ruler'. They only control one province, Benghazi.

I had a mod installed long ago, but it was a mod designed to add more religions to the world, way before El Dorado was released. I uninstalled it, deleted the local content for EUIV from my Steam, reinstalled, but Tripoli still exists at the start date in spite of all of that. It's also not a result of clicking through to later start dates and going back to the original start date, since as soon as I boot up EUIV Tripoli is there.

So...any possible information or thing I could do to get it fixed? I would like the game to get back to normal, as Tripoli existing means that I can't earn achievements in Ironman, since the game says that it's modded and won't allow for gaining achievements. Any possible info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Go through and manually delete the EUIV folders, then redownload it. Sometimes steam doesn't really get rid of everything. Also, you should manually delete your mods folder in MyDocuments.

I suggest deleting your history folder and verifying your installation with steam afterwards

Thank you both! I did the latter first, deleting just the history folder, which did fix Tripoli existing but didn't let me earn achievements on Ironman since the game still said it was modded, though that was promptly fixed by manually redownloading every file for the game. It's working normally now!
